You mentioned you are having issues with paint rub when putting on webgear. If you’re not using a topcoat sealant I would recommend it.

I personally use two coats to ensure I didn’t miss any spots but I try to keep the coats thin so it doesn’t look chunky. Let me know if you need any tips with this.
Thanks! Agree, it’s crazy what paint does to the WW2 figures, looking forward to using them more for customs moving forward. Can’t stop staring at him on my shelf, haha.
I have this, just never tried it yet because my guys weren’t “finished” before.....but now I really am getting to the point where I have enough pouches & stuff that I don’t need to worry about running out of gear so I should start sealing my guys & gluing the pouches in place.

Some tips would be much appreciated!
What I read before was throw down a piece of cardboard in the garage, stand several feet away and give it a quick spray on all sides, let that dry for an afternoon and then do a second coat. Like you said, trying to make sure you don’t leave any real clumpy spots.
After painting the figure, do you have to do anything special to seal the joints or just sort of pose him arms & legs out and a nice coverage spray should take care of everything pretty well in two thin coats?

Thanks, appreciate it!
I think I’ve only painted two official Hasbro figures so no sanding of points or anything here, I just try to keep it thin around those areas if I have to paint them at all and I don’t usually run into much rub or flaking with Marauder products. Never popped a figure or anything, haha, still in the novice stages of customizing.
